Treatment of Broken Down Teeth

A prosthodontist is a specialist who is registered with the Dental Board of Australia in the field of prosthodontics. They undergo a minimum of three years of full-time advanced training, allowing them to treat complex and difficult cases where your general dentist cannot. The primary roles of a prosthodontist are to diagnose, treat and rehabilitate patients who have lost their teeth or require advance care in oral restorative work. Their services include provision of dentures, veneers, dental implants, inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges and much more.

Since “cosmetic dentistry” is not a recognised dental specialty, a “cosmetic dentist” is a layperson’s description of a general dentist who offers treatments focussed on enhancing the aesthetics of your smile. A prosthodontist is an effective cosmetic dentist possessing advanced expertise and an appropriate educational background in this field.

A prosthodontist also has the requisite skills to coordinate and administer a full mouth reconstruction involving coordination of multiple treatments and different specialties. As the title suggests, prosthodontists further specialise in creating natural and life-like prosthetic devices to replace your missing teeth.
